I have not yet beat the game, though have been grinding recently. I think the game gets too much hate. The story isn’t meant to be good, it is about the grinding. The customizability is great, the combat is fantastic, and the game is just beautiful. I like the game a lot and hope to learn more about how the valorplates work, augments, buying and forging/upgrading gear. The game is worth the money and time, even with some of its less pleasurable aspects.
